The 4 Best Travel Litter Boxes for Your Cat's Next Road Trip

Best Overall

Sport Pet Large Portable Litter Box

$16 at Amazon

If you’re embarking on a longer trip or looking for a multi-use option, I highly recommend the Sport Pet People Waterproof Litter Box. It’s made to be reusable with its waterproof construction and collapsible design that makes it a durable, effective option for setting up your cats’ bathroom anywhere from a pit stop to your vacation rental. Speaking of travel, it features a collapsible design with convenient handles that make it not only easy to store, but to carry as well.

And I haven’t even shared the best part, cleaning this litter box is an absolute breeze. I’ve found that it holds no odor or stains thanks to its polyester construction and to do so, all you have to do is dump the old litter and rinse with a mellow soap and water (or disinfectant of choice).

If you have a bigger cat, this litter box also comes in a larger size. My two cats are roughly 10 pounds each, and are able to use the default size with ease.

Best Disposable

Litter One Biodegradable Disposable Cat Litter Box Kit

$25 at Chewy View on Litterone.com

Don’t let its cardboard construction fool you, the Litter One Biodegradable Disposable Cat Litter Box is built for long haul trips. While yes this litter box is single-use in nature, its all-in-one design is intended to last you between four to six weeks as it comes with an incredibly absorbent pellet litter (that is biodegradable might I add) and a genius construction that separates pellet solids with urine. It also comes with biodegradable poop bags to dispose of waste and a travel scooper so you can leave yours at home.

This litter box system is truly the one-and-done option that will last you your entire vacation, without the worry of transporting it back home.

Best Disposable Litter Pans

Cat’s Pride All-in-one Disposable Litter Pan

$82 at Amazon

This may not be my personal go-to, but plenty of my friends that work in animal rescue swear by the Cat’s Pride All-in-One Disposable Litter Pan, which comes in a ready-to-use setup. They prefer plastic to cardboard disposable litter boxes because of its water-proof design that keeps scents and liquids in, though plastic is less sustainable. Another downside is the included clay litter, which sticks to feet and tracks outside of the box. These disposable pans come in packs of five.

Best Budget

Frisco Disposable Litter Box

$11 at Chewy

Operating a cat rescue, my mom and I are planners by nature. And as such, we always think of the what-if scenarios so that’s why we make sure to always have a handful of litter box options, including a budget-friendly one that’s easy to fill with our own litter, but durable enough to withstand travel, or a feral cat going through dewormer (if you know, you know). For that, we make sure to keep a set of the Frisco Disposable Litter Boxes around. At roughly $3 a box, they’re a compact option to give your cat easy relief on the go.

And just as any litter box should, especially a travel one, this one is leak-free and comes with a heavy-duty construction that can withstand up to a month of continued bathroom use before beginning to break down.
